If you are not getting any 'disallowing update' messages but are
getting 'allowing update' ones, then it looks like your windows clients
are not trying to update the reverse zone.

Rowland 

I am going to the location in a little while and I will sign on to other
(W10) stations and then test nslookups. 

The only client currently running is a W7 that I left running last
night. Let me see what happens when W10 on signed on. 

I have been "tailing" the log files for a couple of hours. Scrolling
back never found any "disallow" messages. 

(BTW, sorry about my silly email client messing up my replies.)
